Stacy DeLano, adult services librarian and library volunteer Theo Yoast will present a class designed to help beginners learn how to start researching their family genealogy.  The first part of the session will introduce participants to the resources available in the library, throughout town and on the web.  The second part will introduce the library’s online genealogy databases, Heritage Quest and Ancestry.com.

“We want to provide this class while the exhibit is here because genealogies truly are people’s greatest family heirloom,” said DeLano.  “It is a treasured gift that can be passed on from generation to generation.”

The class is geared to beginners and to people who want to learn more about the library’s resources and databases.  At 3 p.m., following the instruction, participants are invited to seek advice from some of the more experienced genealogists in attendance.  This session is intended for those who have hit a roadblock in their searching.
